Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker. 😊 💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I discuss: Jesus' statement, “you will know them by their fruit” (Matthew 7:16) is part of His teaching about recognizing true followers and avoiding false prophets. Unfortunately, many people through the years have been duped into following such characters and joining them in justifying the sin. If only they had heeded Jesus’ warning that “you will know them by their fruit.” No matter how good or convincing someone sounds, if he or she is bearing bad fruit, their message should be avoided!! While we can never know anyone else’s heart, we can make wise assessments about other people by observing the regular fruit of their lives. All of us stumble from time to time, and we may go through seasons of bearing little fruit (1 John 1:8). But, 1 John 3:4–10 makes it clear that those who know God, will NOT continue a lifestyle of bearing bad fruit. We have been transformed, and the fruit of our lives is evidence of that transformation! Apple trees don’t produce bananas, and strawberry plants don’t produce figs. This fact of nature is also true in the spiritual realm. Often, people profess faith in Jesus as Savior, but it is a mere profession with no real faith (study Matthew 15:8). When we repent of our sin and receive Jesus as Lord of our lives (John 1:12; Acts 2:38), He changes our hearts (2 Corinthians 5:17). Now the fruit that is produced is good fruit. Galatians 5:22 lists some of the fruit produced by a heart in tune with God. Our attitudes, actions, words, and perspectives change as we walk in fellowship with the Holy Spirit (1 John 1:6–7). When our hearts change, our fruit changes. Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/repentandbelieve/message
